After grinding many games in ranked, I hate to see the all-star squad in NORMAL

Played almost more ranked than i could stomach this weekend and monday in preparation for the patch that didn't drop, and so I thought I'd unwind today and go all free-week ezreal on people. Every game I play it's Annie/Brand/Orianna, Lee Sin/Amumu/Nocturne, Gangplank/Irelia/Singed/Udyr, Soraka/Alistar/Taric, and Caitlyn. These champs, every time. Right after I got done playing like 20 ranked games vs these champs. Every time.

Only now my team, instead of being composed of more of less the same good champions, is now a ragtag bunch of heroes. I realize I'm not helping matters by busting out Ezreal for like the 2nd time ever, but I'm not doing anything incredibly offensive or demeaning. But it feels like the deck is stacked against me. I choose not to continue playing the same really good champions that I use in ranked--I'd like to break it up a little. But I keep running into teams full of people who a quick check reveals don't even have a ranked rating, picking all the OP champs I've just faced down for the past 48 hours, for normal mode. If they want to play those guys in that kind of comp, why not do it in ranked? Because the game isn't fair if one team is just pickin guys for fun, and the other people are drafting the freakin god squad.
